Building material is any material that can be used for construction purposes. It commonly includes wood, concrete, steel, cement, aggregates, bricks, clay, metal, and so much more. In the olden times, people have been using pure bricks, or wood, or straw. But in this modern age, engineers have learned to mix and match the right materials to come up with higher quality structures. Of course, the choice is always based on the client’s budget and the effectiveness of the materials in building projects.
